Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Single Malt #5 2023 750ml

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year – Batch #5 (2023) | 750ml

Named after Islay’s famed “Singing Sands,” Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Batch 5 (2023) is a rare expression that captures the distillery’s signature peat smoke with an added layer of age and refinement. Crafted by Ardbeg Distillery, this limited annual release is built for those who appreciate smoky Scotch with depth, nuance, and evolving complexity.

After 19 years of maturation in a carefully selected mix of American oak and Oloroso sherry casks, this whisky reveals a beautifully balanced profile. The nose opens with campfire smoke, sea spray, and citrus zest, followed by hints of vanilla, leather, and gentle spice. On the palate, it’s both powerful and elegant, layering smoked malt, dark chocolate, toasted oak, and dried fruit, with a subtle sweetness that rounds out the intensity.

The finish is long and captivating - smoky, salty, and slightly sweet, with lingering notes of spice and oak that echo long after the last sip.

Batch 5 continues the Traigh Bhan tradition of small-batch individuality, with each release offering its own subtle variation while staying true to Ardbeg’s unmistakable Islay character.

For collectors and peat lovers alike, this is Ardbeg at its most mature and expressive—bold, coastal, and endlessly intriguing. Slàinte.
